[molpro-user] PGI's optimization tips for Opteron

[Nick Wilson]

Dear Scott,

The unresolved symbols are supplied by src/util/gmainv.o so I'm not sure 
why they're missing. Try deleteing this file and recompiling.

I have previously tried using the PGI -fastsse optimisation settings on 
a parallel build and ran into some problems with some of the testjobs 
(on a tcgmsg build). I think the aggressive optimisation flags make some 
assumptions about how the data is aligned which can cause problems with 
the parallel communication. I have tinkered with the flags for the 
global arrays build but I have not personally got it working correctly 
with tcgmsg with the -fastsse setting. It might work OK with mpi but I 
haven't tested that yet.

Best wishes,
Nick
